    Default Losers and Haters Underestimate the President

    "News coverage of President Donald J. Trump in national media is so reflexively negative that many observers think he has no ideological core.

    His actions are often depicted as uninformed, impulsive and ego-driven.

    However, even a cursory review of the Trump record before and during his presidency reveals a stable foundation of beliefs—beliefs that earlier generations of Republicans and even DEMOCRATS would have had little trouble embracing.

    The main reason this isn’t apparent to many journalists and pundits (aside from their weak grasp of history) is that they can’t seem to separate Trump’s style from the substance of his beliefs. His style is so unusual for a public figure that the “how” of his actions often obscures the “what.”

    This is not a new development in American history. Abraham Lincoln, arguably the greatest president ever, was widely derided during his faltering early years as chief executive, with one newspaper referring to him as “Honest Ape.”

    After all, what is so strange about wanting to build a wall on a border? But that is where our political discourse currently stands.

    Against that backdrop, it is worth considering what the normative underpinnings of the president’s security policies are. As commander-in-chief of the military and the nation’s top diplomat, Trump has latitude to do as he wishes in national security."

    That is like seven sentences that say absolutely nothing, well, other than Trump is a supposedly a media martyr

    So show us it said something and back up what you posted and tell us exactly what are Trump's "stable foundation of beliefs"

    He's laughing at it, because Legion posted it, and probably blocked everyone.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Have you ever gotten a beautiful shining firm delicious apple, and cut into it, only to discover that the core is totally rotten out and squishy brown? That's Trump. Well, except for the beautiful, shining, firm, and delicious part.

    You cannot just say "national security" and magically handwave into existence a presidential power to ban Mexicans out of racism and bigotry. Maybe the next president should say "national security" and declare Medicare for all?
